„The Forgotten Monk tells the story of a man under a curse. His past has been stolen, and he wants it back. Fortunately for him, without memories to distract him, he’s exceptionally observant. He soon falls in with a cavalry unit that finds his ability to see through lies, spot tiny clues and pick up on minute discrepancies quite useful as they try to fight crime in their corner of the Dragon Empire. (His expertise with the Deadly Arts comes in handy too.)
Arrayed against them are three semi-giantesses, a crazy halfling death cultist, the Crusaders‘ sinister and smarmy local captain, a love-maddened alchemist, dwarf cops, a charming drunkard dog-thief, an elf in disguise, a blinded arch-demon in chains, and the bizarre Mantischorgoth.
Allied with them are a singing orc, an indecisive elf, and a flying carpet that doesn’t like heights, all woven into a story of strong friendships, deadly hatreds, ingenious criminal mysteries and baffling affairs of the heart.
The Forgotten Monk is high fantasy and high adventure, but behind it lies a sobering question: When a man has nothing, not even an identity, can he choose good over evil? In this book, the wager has been made. The bet has begun. The answer could shake an Age.“

Ich persönlich halte Unknown Armies für eines der faszinierendsten Rollenspiele überhaupt. Auch Reign war sehr clever. Entsprechend unterstütze ich Mister Stolze immer wieder gerne.
